Summary: Where to begin? Blythecliff is not your typical overnight. A charming great house with three acres of grounds and forest dotted with art, a croquet lawn and resident doves. And an attentive staff. Breakfast was all we could wish for. Try Lesley’s Award Winning Orange Marmalade! Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Eva Jan 23, 2025 01:14:02 PM
Summary: A lovely quaint historic house full of memorabilia in a lovely big garden. My room and bathroom were impeccable and had a lovely view of the garden and the bay. The breakfast was served with lovely china and fresh coffee, croissants, fresh fruit salad and yogurt. Homemade jams, and eggs and bacon freshly made to order from the lovely hostess.
